I think two things can be true about congressional motivation to legislate tiktok - it's almost entirely fueled (in congress) by economic anxiety and xenophobia towards China - it's good that this is happening, because it's g

I think it's a bit defeatist to think that the current vitriolic state of the internet is as sweeping and undefeatable as a "new age" when almost all of that vitriol can be traced to a few engagement-maximizing algorithms, he
